Description
When cross-compiling transmission for an embedded system (in this case using an OpenEmbedded? bitbake recipe) the configure check for a system provided miniupnpc library fails:
checking system miniupnpc library... configure: error: in `/DATA/Source/.../mips32el-oe-linux/transmission/2.84-r0/build': configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
The problem boils down to the fact that detecting miniupnpc API version is done by trying to build and run a program at configure time. Clearly this can not work for cross-compilation environments.
There should be a way of falling back to the bundled miniupnpc implementation when cross-compiling. Either by specifying an argument to configure or by adding code to configure.ac to detect cross-compilation.
